Basic toilet repair

 


Basic toilet repairs are necessary from time to time. With a little care and attention, you can perform basic toilet repairs rather than paying an expensive plumber.

Toilet bowl

If the wax or other material used to seal the base of the toilet bowl is defective, a leak can occur, and the bathroom floor can become damp. The water supply to the toilet must be interrupted before attempting this repair.

Once the system is dry, remove the bowl and clean the pipe. Then put the bowl back in and close it carefully.

If the seal is in place and the bowl continues to leak, it is possible that there is a crack in the porcelain. This is extremely unlikely. In that case, however, repair of the toilet is impossible, and the entire bowl will have to be replaced.

Toilet tank

The most common toilet repair problem is a continuously flowing tank caused by a leak somewhere in the tank. The best way to check if your toilet is suffering from this toilet repair problem is to put a few drops of food colouring into the tank and see if the water in the bowl turns the same colour. If the water in the cup contains the food colouring, it means that there is a leak. Spare parts for the components of this repair are not expensive. 

Before ordering spare parts, check whether the problem can be solved by adjusting the length of the lever wire or the positioning of the reservoir ball.

However, if the problem cannot be solved with adjustments, some parts may need to be replaced.

A common problem in toilet tank repair is the deterioration of the valve at the bottom of the tank, called the flapper. This can deteriorate due to the use of bleach and other common tank cleaning products.

If the flapper is in good condition, check the ball valve. It must rise properly to close the filling valve. Sometimes they become waterlogged and must be emptied or replaced.

Troubleshooting water heater problems: Noisy pipes

 Noisy pipes can be caused by problems with the water heater. When you start hearing noises in the water pipes, these can be caused by air or lack of air, obstructions and blockages in the water line. Here are some steps you can take to identify the problem. Water hammer Water hammer is a dull sound that results from the sudden pressurisation of the water line caused by the rapid closing of a tap or other water valve. The water rises rapidly, causing a loud hammering sound in the pipes. This damages the pipes over time. Water hammer only occurs when water is not flowing. You can rule out water hammer if you hear the noise while the water is flowing. Shut off the water supply to your house and drain the water from the pipes by opening a low tap, such as an outside tap or a tub. Turn off all taps and turn the water back on in the house by opening a tap and closing it. If you do not hear the clunk noise, the problem is a water hammer.
